Work is beginning on the centre in Ellesmere Port

Off she goes! Our first office, our huge portacabin set off for Bridlington today! We’ll miss her but it’s exciting to be entering the next phase!!

Still on track to open by Christmas!

On Wednesday we say goodbye to our trusty portacabin! It’s going to be a bittersweet farewell!

The Trading side of the project is now complete.

Now for the exciting part! Rooms have been built in the charity side, electrics are being fitted, toilets are being installed, orders for windows and flooring placed. We aim to be open for Christmas - fingers crossed everyone!!

Happy Birthday Steve!

Building work continues as new walls are erected.

CDFBs 'Fairy Godmother' Steve Murray, who is giving much of his time to help us refurbish our building, shown here sporting a donated garment!

Progress continues at the centre! The mezzanine floor is now in operation in the trading area and construction of pat testing and Ebay rooms has begun!

CDFB is lucky in having the support of two fantastic local builders and also enjoys being the beneficiary of discounted and donated goods from local companies.

Thank you a million times to everyone for their unstinting generosity!

Exciting times as work begins on our hall!

Progressing as planned. The mezzanine floor is due to arrive on Monday and when this is up all stock can be moved from charity side then work can progress on hall, kitchen and toilets.
